   Certainly the nuclei will not collide, because nuclei are extremely   
   small and also have a charge, which will prevent collision with other   
   nuclei of the same charge.

   That's why this type of reaction is called 'nuclear fusion'.   
      
   The nuclei build the heavier element helium.
